Homework Statement


Given that "If T(Ta)=0, then Ta=0",
can we say that the linear transformation on V is nonsingular?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Since what the statement implies is that T has only zero subspace of V as its null space, can we not say that it's nonsingular?

I don't think you can say that at all. Suppose T:V --> V is defined by T(x) = 0 for any x in V. The nullspace of T is all of V, so T is definitely noninvertible. What does that imply about T being singular or nonsingular?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
